Case studies

We invest in projects the length and breadth of England to help us achieve our mission of great art and culture for everyone. Browse our case studies and get the story behind some of our funded projects below.

In the South West, almost one-third of the population live in rural settlements and there are more people living in villages, hamlets and isolated dwellings than in any other English region – almost one in five of the region’s total population. Many rural communities face particular challenges – social, geographic, economic – that mean people have very limited access to professional work. Touring is fundamental to opening up these opportunities and National portfolio organisation AIR in G runs the rural touring scheme in Gloucestershire.
